cost of the cure is more than the disease,. check yer oil,.,seriously, you see a lotta cars melted down cuz they were driven low on oil? Have you Ever ruined an engine by running it low on oil?
Ive seen industrial engines with Murphy switches on them & it makes sense there, because the people running the engines didnt OWN the engines & wouldnt have to pay if the engine got ruined.
Its not always someone elses job to make sure we dont screw ourselves.
If the people thot so much of that idea, Ill bet a market survey or 2 would have reflected that & some manufacturer would have been the First to bring that to the showroom floor.,
